Stratton-Porter, Gene

THE KEEPER OF THE BEES: A Romance

NY: Grosset & Dunlap, 1927. Reprint. Hardcover. Near Fine / Near Fine. Item #SHEL1629

G & D reprint, no exact date of publishing as 1925 probably isn't the G & G year. Gray cloth. 505pp. Pictorial endpapers. Color frontispiece. On the blank preliminary page recto of the frontispiece is the inked name of Mrs. Olive M. Gregory, and below it in ink, "Presented by / Sunday School Class / Dec. 20: 1927." Very slight wear to bottom cover tips. Vg+ in vg, attractively illustrated dj. I am not a Stratton-Porter expert, but this copy appears to have the earlier dj illustration with the young woman running on a beach to the viewer.

Price: $75.50
